BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Like the entire organism, each cell has its own life cycle. Most cells spend the greatest length of time carrying out their normal cell activities during Interphase. When the cell begins to divide, the DNA in the nucleus must form a copy of itself within the nucleus. At this point, the cell is said to be in Prophase. The remaining phases are usually rapid and result in the formation of two nearly identical daughter cells.
